Estimate the average force that a baseball pitcher's hand exerts on a 0.145-kg baseball as he throws a 40-m/s pitch. Assume the

Kitty [74]

Answer:

38.67 N

Explanation:

v = Final velocity = 40 m/s

u = Initial velocity

m = Mass of ball = 0.145kg

s = Displacement of ball = 3 m

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{40^2-0^2}{2\times 3}=\frac{800}{3}\ m/s^2$

F=ma

$\\\Rightarrow F=0.145\times \frac{800}{3}\\\Rightarrow F=38.67\ N$

∴ Average force that a baseball pitcher's hand exerts on the ball is 38.67 N

A 260-kg glider is being pulled by a 1,940-kg jet along a horizontal runway with an acceleration of a= 2.20 m/s^2 to the right.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the thrust provided by the jet's engines is 4840 newtons.

b) The magnitude of the tension in the cable connecting the jet and glider is 572 newtons.

Explanation:

a) By Newton's laws we construct the following equations of equilibrium. Please notice that both the glider and the jet experiments has the same acceleration:

Jet

$\Sigma F = F - T = m_{J}\cdot a$ (1)

Glider

$\Sigma F = T = m_{G}\cdot a$ (2)

Where:

$F$ - Thrust of jet engines, measured in newtons.

$T$ - Tension in the cable connecting the jet and glider, measured in newtons.

$m_{G}$ , $m_{J}$ - Masses of the glider and the jet, measured in kilograms.

$a$ - Acceleration of the glider-jet system, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $m_{G} = 260\,kg$ , $m_{J} = 1,940\,kg$ and $a = 2.20\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the solution of this system of equations:

By (2):

$T = (260\,kg)\cdot \left(2.20\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$T = 572\,N$

By (1):

$F = T+m_{J}\cdot a$

$F = 572\,N+(1,940\,kg)\cdot \left(2.20\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$F = 4840\,N$

The magnitude of the thrust provided by the jet's engines is 4840 newtons.

b) The magnitude of the tension in the cable connecting the jet and glider is 572 newtons.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

slega [8]

We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
$dI =r^2*dm$
where $dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)$
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from $-a/2$ to $a/2$
The moment of inertia is
$I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3)$ (from (-a/2) to $I=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12$ (a/2))

How much power is used if an athlete lifts a 50N weight up 2 meters in 10 seconds?

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

the power used by the person is 10 W.

Explanation:

Given;

weight lifted, W = 50 N

distance through which the weight was lifted, d = 2 m

time of motion, t = 10 s

The power used by the person is calculated as;

$P= FV\\\\P = F \ \times \ \frac{d}{t} \\\\P = 50 \ \times \ \frac{2}{10} \\\\P = 10 \ W$

Therefore, the power used by the person is 10 W.
